Railroad Meeting and Barbe
cue at Cary a Great Success.
The railroad meeting and
barbecue at Cary was a grand
success. No people under the
sun know better how to pre
pare a sumptuous feast of good
things that appeal to the “in
ner man” than our sturdy,
enterprising and progressive
farmers.

ple who are quite so indepen

that brings better returns for
the amount of energy and en
terprise expended.
The Georgia fanner with
his broad fields teeming with
the various products of this
favored clime; his barns
swelling with .provender
gathered from the previous
crop; sleek cattle grazing on
a hundred hillsides, and mea

with numberless fowls: his
smoke house groaning with
“hog and hominy” surely

of this earth; for, although

goes to rest beneath his vine
covered cottage and awakes to
hear the song of the mocking

Cotton Trade
in New Position.
New Orleans, Dec. 11. —The ect
ton trade this week vilj find itself
in an entirely new position Mr the
season. 'Die important bureau re
ports of the season Svill ail he lie
hind it and the question of supply
and demand may receive undivided
attention. From now on, until
the end of the crop that may he
considered of the highest import
ance. ,
Tin: govern \iknt’s estimate.
This week the trade will settle, to
a great extent, the dispute over the
correctness of the government’s es
timate of the total growth. Figures
as low as 11,426,000 will he a bit
ter pill for many to swallow, ai d it
may be hard to convince foreign
spinners, particularly continental
spinners, that they are approximate
ly correct. Conservative traders
are already willing to accept the
government’s figures and in such
a situation as the trade now finds
itgelf in conservatism generallyAvins
out. Should the cotton world, as a
whole, decide that the estimate is as
correct as was last season’s estimate,
buying of both futures and spots
will increase.
There will he one thing that will
he in the way of fresh operations of
magnitude by the general run of
traders and that will lie the approa
ching holidays. Liverpool has al
ready announced that it will he
closed for four days, including S m
day (Christinas) and for three days,
including Sunday, at New Yera's.
New York will close three days at
both. Christmas and New Year’s,
and New Orleans will probably
adopt the same holidays. This
means practically an entire week of
inactivity at the year end and that
business will not he resumed in full
until the holiday season is well ov
er. Naturally the general tendency
from now on will he to avoid enter
ing into fresh commitments of any
size. Unless fresh developments of
importance come to light, it will be
a typical holiday market before the
end of this week.

Financier cmd Business Man
The body of Jno. W. Hunt was
brought here from Dallas, Tex.,
Wednesday Dee. 14, and buried in
Weeping Pine Cemetery, beside the
late lamented P. L. Peacock, his d<
voted friend and life time business
nssi teiate.
Mr. Hunt was seventy years old,
and had been gradually declining
in health for the 71:1st twelve months
He was born in Wilson County, N.
('., and was a soldier in the Con
federate army, entering the service
just in time to take part in the bat
tle of Gettysburg, where he was
wounded, captured, and thrown in
to a federal pri.-on, and remained
there until the dose' of hostilities.
Almost thirty-five years ago he
came to Dußois, Ga. and secured
employment at that p!a . a : a dai
ly laborer, lie was employed by
the late A. T. Wiggs who at that
time was operating a turpentine
farm.
Four years later, or almost thirty
one years ago, lie and the late P. L.
Peacock formed a business connect
ion and inaugurated the first naval
store commission business that was
ever in the state of Georgia locating
witn their headquarters at Savan
nah under the well known firm
11 me of Peacock, Hunt, «fc Co. This
firm,ever since its inauguration, has
stood as a Gibraltar of financial in
tegrity, broad business acumen, and
achieved a phenomenal success
equaled by few business enterprises
in this part of the state.
Mr. Hunt was a wealthy man.
He was perhaps worth one million
and half to two million dollars. The
naval store business in Savannah
was the foundation of this fortune;
in fact he made his money in south
Georgia, although he made many
investments outside of the state.

2 Young Bay Mules, well matched, 1 old horse

largest stockholders of the Citizens
Southern Bank, of Savannah, Ga.,
! was owner of a naval store eonimis
j sion house in Jacksonville and had

Some time before his death he
said to Jno. E. Harris, his confi
dential fri nd and adviser:
“1 made my money in south
Henrda, and when 1 die ! want the
bulk of my fortune to go there as a
fund to he expended for worthy,
charitable purposes among the peo
